2022 Toyota Tundra engine

Toyota introduces new powertrain for 2022 Toyota Tundra

We're eagerly - some might even say anxiously - awaiting the unveiling and arrival of the 2022 Toyota Tundra. However, Toyota has been keeping this new truck under pretty tight wraps until the big day. They did, however, just release another teaser, and this one revolves around the new engine that will purportedly be under the hood of the 2022 model when it arrives at a Toyota dealership near you. We're taking a closer look (we gotta stay busy while we wait, right?). What type of engine will the new 2022 Toyota Tundra have under the hood? The latest 2022 Toyota Tundra teaser shows a quick look at the new engine, which has been dubbed the iForce Max. Now, if you recall, the engine that's currently under the hood of this Orlando Toyota truck is called the iForce V8. It's a 5.7L V8 engine that churns out 381 horsepower for some serious get up and go. The new engine, however, has notedly dropped any sort of number in its name and is just going by "Max" (which doesn't give us much to go on, but here we are). So what will it be? Here's what we think. There's faux manifold decoration on the engine cover and three intake runners on each side. This leads us to believe that it's likely going to be some sort of V6 engine, which we knew was coming as Toyota steadily phases out its V8 options. There are really two possibilities here: A new twin-turbocharged V6 gas engine. This is a strong possibility because this is the type of engine that's debuting in the new Toyota Land Cruiser, which you can only buy overseas after 2021 (sorry). This could be Toyota's chance to bring it stateside. A naturally-aspirated V6 engine. Either way, we think that there's a big chance that this new model of the Orlando Toyota Tundra will have a hybrid drivetrain. Things are getting greener every day in the automotive industry and Toyota has vowed to increase its electrified options for US drivers. It only seems fitting that the newest model of this popular truck would be available in a hybrid version, especially given the introduction of the Ford F-150 hybrid model. We'd be excited if this were the case. There are tons of perks to hybrid drivetrains, the main two being much better fuel efficiency and a cleaner performance (fewer emissions). We all know that trucks - even Toyota trucks - can be gas guzzlers because of their large size and large engines. Swapping out the drivetrain would ensure better fuel efficiency and less money spent at the pump to travel the same distances, which brings ownership costs down. And it wouldn't affect performance capabilities (in terms of towing, speed, etc.) if done right (and you know Toyota's got it covered).

new Toyota SUV

New Toyota Highlander Bronze Edition coming

The new Toyota Highlander is already incredible to look at - since its redesign, it's offering a sleek but sporty exterior and a plush interior packed with everything you need for a comfortable and - dare we say - enjoyable drive time. It's modern, sophisticated, and the complete opposite of what you'd expect from a family-oriented vehicle. However, Toyota is introducing an all-new special edition in 2022 that promises to ratchet the Toyota Highlander's style up even further, and our Orlando Toyota dealership has the details. Introducing the 2022 Toyota Highlander Bronze Edition! This all-new limited edition model will be available in the hybrid model only will arrive at dealerships at some point later this year. Here are the details that our Orlando Toyota dealership has managed to gather so far: The new Bronze Edition of this sleek Toyota SUV will be a hybrid drivetrain, as noted, and will be available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. It comes in two new paint colors - Cement and Wind Chill Pearl. The exterior and interior will be studded with bronze accents to add a level of uniqueness not found on the regular models. The exterior boasts 18" bronze wheels while the interior is showcasing bronze stitching, bronze doorsills that are also illuminated, and a mid-century modern design is integrated into the SofTex trimmed seats. You'll also find floor mats that have bronze badging on them. This new special edition Toyota Highlander also has exceptional features woven into its unique design. Here's what comes standard: Rain-sensing windshield wipers Ambient lighting integrated into the dash Puddle lamps with the Highlander logo A digital rearview mirror A hands-free power liftgate LED daytime running lights in a strip design A 1500W power outlet A 10-way power driver's seat with memory Height and tilt adjustments for the passenger's seat On top of all of that, the hybrid performance found in this new Toyota special edition is exceptional. The rear-wheel drive system has a separate rear-mounted electric motor to power the rear wheels when necessary; it operated with no connection between the transmission and rear wheels to help prevent your front wheels from slipping. This also helps to prevent understeer as well as help you tackle slippery or uneven terrain like a pro (so pack up the camping gear). This particular model of the new Toyota Highlander is also especially fuel-efficient. It has a high-efficiency 2.5L four-cylinder engine under the hood alongside two electric motors, which means it gets 36 mpg. This high fuel efficiency means you save money on gas and also utilize fewer natural resources, so you can feel better about your time behind the wheel. We don't know EXACTLY when this new  Orlando Toyota will arrive at our dealership, but we'll keep you posted. In the interim, we have Toyota Highlanders AND Highlander Hybrids waiting for you to test drive! Visit Toyota of Orlando today at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall.

Toyota Prius to join Nightshade Edition lineup

Things are getting dark when it comes to the Toyota Prius, and in the best way. A new teaser video from Toyota has revealed that the iconic Toyota hybrid will soon be joining the Nightshade Edition lineup, bringing an edgy new look to the already sleek and sporty hatchback. Toyota of Orlando has details! An all-new Nightshade Edition is coming You've probably seen our coverage of the Nightshade Edition lineup in the past (and if you haven't, then get reading). This lineup boasts special paint colors, blacked-out badging and other exterior and interior features, and new wheels. It's also always a possibility that slight appearance modifications will be made with new rear diffusers or front grilles, as well as tweaked headlights. Plus, it's a limited edition - only a certain number of Nightshade Edition Toyotas are made every year, so you're getting something truly exclusive. We aren't precisely sure what the new Nightshade Edition of the Orlando Toyota Prius will offer, but we can tell from the teaser video that it's giving off some serious edge. Unique paint colors and blacked-out badging is a definite on this new hybrid, and we're sure that small tweaks will be made everywhere else to make it stand out from the everyday lineup. We'll keep you posted as details roll in so you can get your hands on one when they arrive. Why drive the Toyota Prius? A sleek new look isn't the only reason to get your hands on an Orlando Toyota Prius, though - this hybrid car has major perks both inside the cabin and under the hood. Here are some of the reasons we think you should put it in your driveway today. It's fuel-efficient. The 2021 Toyota Prius gets 54 mpg in the city and 50 mpg on the highway. And not only does this mean you save a ton of money on gas, it also means that your car uses less fuel and in turn, fewer natural resources. So you're actually doing Mother Earth a solid. It's eco-friendly. This green car puts out way fewer emissions than a gasoline-powered car which means it helps cut down on smog. Just another way you're doing the planet a solid. The cabin is teched out. You'll get cool features like AppleCar Play and an 11.6" touchscreen interface, Amazon Alexa, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth wireless streaming, color Head-Up Display, Qi wireless charging, and more. You'll basically have everything you need for connectivity, entertainment, and safety at your fingertips. Speaking of safety, this Orlando Toyota is decked out with Toyota Safety Sense 2.0, an integrated backup camera, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, and intelligent clearance sonar with intelligent parking assist. It's never been easier to have peace of mind when you're behind the wheel. Whether you want the Nightshade Edition or the normal Toyota Prius, Toyota of Orlando can help! Call us today to schedule your test drive at (407) 298-4500. We're open seven days a week and conveniently located just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall at 3575 Vineland Road.

Toyota news

Your Toyota news round up for the week of May 17, 2021

Toyota of Orlando is here with your weekly news roundup - check out the latest and greatest going on in our world! Toyota develops method to stop catalytic converter theft Did you know that as a Prius owner, you have a higher chance of having your catalytic converter stolen right off of your car? Weird but true. Thefts of this car part have been on the rise over the past few years because hybrid car catalytic converters have more precious metals (palladium, rhodium, and platinum, to be exact) inside of them than other vehicles. This makes them more valuable to steal, dismantle, and sell. However, Toyota is taking steps to stop the theft - they've created a way to covertly mark the catalytic converters so they can be tracked after they're stolen. The markers will be police-approved and 50,000 of them will roll out initially; all owners have to do is contact their local dealership to have one fitted on their car. New 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser spotted New spy photos of the 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser - without camo on - have been leaked, and things are looking good. We can't show it here (sorry, but we'll be sure to let you know when the OFFICIAL photos drop), but it's looking like this new Toyota SUV is sleeker than ever for its big debut. It's reminiscent of a Lexus LX with lean lines, sleek curves, and a powerful presence if that gives you any idea (or you can just Google it). Remember, it's likely that it won't be available in North America so the only way to get your hands on one is if you live overseas. Toyota predicts 70% of sales to be electric by 2030 Big news for green drivers - Toyota is predicting that by 2030, 70% of all of their sales will be electrified with a majority of that number being hybrids. While gasoline models will still be available, they're hoping to make their way toward carbon neutrality by the end of this decade and electric cars, hydrogen cars, and hybrid cars are the way to get there. We're excited to see which new Toyotas make their way into the lineup to help achieve this goal (and don't forget, you can test drive any and all of our eco-friendly new Toyotas today at Toyota of Orlando). Toyota pairs with ENEOS for Woven City We've already filled you in Toyota's Woven City - the city of the future being built over in Japan. However, there's more news on that front. Toyota has officially partnered with ENEOS, a Japanese petroleum company, to build a hydrogen fuel system that will power the city as cleanly as possible. ENEOS is well-versed in this realm - it currently runs 45 hydrogen fueling stations throughout Japan to support hydrogen fuel cell vehicles like the Toyota Mirai. ENEOS plans to install a hydrogen refueling station near the city and produce green hydrogen to further power the city itself. Have questions or want to see our new Toyotas in person? Call us! Toyota of Orlando is open seven days a week at (407) 298-4500. You can also stop by and see us at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 across from the Millenia Mall.

Toyota news roundup: Week of 5/10

It's a new week at Toyota of Orlando and we've got the scoop on the freshest news in the automotive industry. Check out the latest headlines and call us with any questions you may have (or to set up your test drive). Toyota patents new twin-turbo V8 engine This one is still kind of up in the air. After all, Toyota has largely removed the V8 engine from its lineup and replaced it with more fuel-efficient options, especially in the wake of how popular hybrid and electric cars are becoming. However, last Thursday it was revealed that they just filed a patent for a new twin-turbo V8 engine. The application details a new engine with two turbochargers (also known as superchargers) that are placed on the top of the engine block. This could mean that Toyota is planning a "hot v" engine, one that has very little lag and is actually more efficient for it. It's also going to be more compact, which means it can fit in more passenger cars. We'll keep you posted! New Toyota hydrogen engine in the works Toyota's latest endeavor in the world of green cars is a new internal combustion engine that actually uses hydrogen as fuel. This results in a car that feels and sounds like a traditional gasoline-powered car but one that emits far fewer emissions into the air and is significantly more efficient. Toyota has placed this innovative engine in a Toyota Corolla Hatchback and will be entering said vehicle into the 2021 Super Taikyu 24 Hour Endurance Series from May 21 to 23, 2021 to see how it fares when it comes to the track. Is an electric Toyota Land Cruiser coming? The Orlando Toyota Land Cruiser will officially be retired after this year, but that doesn't mean it's fading from existence - after all, it's an icon of the brand. It's going to be available in other parts of the world and rumor has it that there's a chance it could be all-electric in the coming years. Toyota recently entered into a partnership with BHP, an Australian mining company, and retrofitted a Toyota Land Cruiser with a battery-electric powertrain to see how it fared and whether or not it should be pushed into the consumer market and so far, so good. New Toyota electrified SUVs to be produced in Indiana We mentioned earlier this month that two new Toyota electrified models were headed our way in the upcoming year - two new SUVs, to be exact. However, we weren't given any specifics on what TYPE of vehicles they would be (hybrids, plug-ins, all-electric, etc.). More news has been tacked onto this initial story; Toyota announced that it's investing $803 million into the Indiana plant and adding 1,400 new jobs in order to produce the aforementioned SUVs right here in the states. That's the roundup for this week - if you have questions or want to schedule a test drive for ANY of our new or used cars, call us! We're open seven days a week until 10pm at (407) 298-4500.

Toyota News Roundup: April 29

It's been a busy week in the world of Toyota and our Orlando Toyota dealership is here with the latest roundup of Toyota news to keep you in the loop. Check it out! Two new SUVs coming: Big news for all your SUV drivers - two new models will be hitting the market before you know it. Rumor has it that Toyota will be retiring the Toyota Sequoia (similarly to how it put the Toyota Land Cruiser out to pasture this year) and introducing two new 8-seater, 3-row SUVs designed for Millenial families that are always on the go. One will be badged as a Lexus, but both will likely be fuel-efficient hybrids and include cool and convenient features like hands-free driving systems and a remote parking feature. Additionally, both will be built right here in the US at the Indiana plant. Spy photos of the new Toyota Land Cruiser emerge: The Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series may have been retired in the US, but an all-new 300 series is coming to the rest of the world. Spy shots have been taken and reveal that the new interaction of this much-loved classic will a longer and wider front bumper, a rear end that looks similar to the popular Prado model, and a completely redesigned interior cabin that focuses on easy access to infotainment and the instrument cluster. We'll keep you posted as new photos and more information are dropped. Toyota to race combustible hydrogen car: When it comes to going green, Toyota is definitely a front-runner. And now they're taking their technology to the track - reportedly, they'll be racing in the 4-hour Super Taikyu race in Fuji in a vehicle powered by combustible hydrogen. It sounds weird - how do you combust hydrogen like you do gas? We're no engineers, but it is possible and can lend a lot of speed to your car. However, it cuts way back on your fuel efficiency and also emits nitrous oxide, which is a greenhouse gas that hydrogen cars try to cut out of the equation, so we don't see this technology coming to a dealership near you anytime soon. Toyota Sienna Woodland introduced: The Toyota Sienna has always been cooler than the average minivan (hence the Swagger Wagon moniker). However, it's taking cool to an all-new level with a new special edition model that's coming to market in the fall. The Toyota Sienna Woodland special edition comes with standard all-wheel drive and more ground clearance for a more versatile performance. Additionally, it'll still pack a hybrid drivetrain and offer features like 18" wheels, roof racks with crossbars, a 1,500 watt outlet, and two cool new paint colors. Plus, it'll be able to tow up to 3,500 lbs without batting an eye. Stay tuned for more Toyota news and in the meantime, shop our inventory in person!

new Toyota concept

New electric Toyota concept unveiled

Big news in the world of green cars - Toyota has officially introduced an all-new electric car concept and it's slated to begin production in Japan and China in the coming year, and *fingers crossed* be up for sale on a worldwide scale by the middle to end of 2022. Meet the all-new Toyota bz4X SUV; Toyota of Orlando has the details! See what the new Toyota bz4X SUV has to offer Toyota has always been committed to clean, green performance. After all, they were the frontrunners for hybrid cars with the introduction of the Toyota Prius back in the early 2000s; they also have introduced numerous other green options to the market, including electric and fuel cell vehicles. Their goal is to expand their lineup to include more than 70 electrified vehicle options (on a global basis) by the end of 2025 and have carbon neutrality by 2050. (This basically means that the amount of carbon emitted in vehicle emissions is balanced with the absorption of carbon from the atmosphere.) Introducing the Toyota bz4X SUV. This new Toyota was developed in a joint endeavor with Subaru (much like the Toyota GR 86) and will be produced under the new Toyota bZ umbrella - bZ stands for beyond zero, as this lineup will include a series of battery-electric vehicles. Even more exciting news has been announced, too - Toyota will be adding trucks to the new lineup of electrified vehicles with both hybrid and BEV options up for grabs. The Toyota bz4X SUV was built on the e-TNGA BEV-dedicated platform. It has a long wheelbase with short overhangs and has a style that's pretty distinctive; it reminds us of an Orlando Toyota RAV4 mixed with a Toyota C-HR with its sharp, diamond-inspired styling. It's featuring a spacious interior with a comfortable, open-concept design; for example, the instrument panel is set low over the steering wheel for better visibility and handling. The touchscreen is large and extends up from the center console, and the steering wheel features a hub for all of your hands-free buttons. All-wheel drive (courtesy of Subaru) will be standard, and it's been speculated that there could be dual motors to power said feature.

New Gazoo Racing Off-Road Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series rumored to be coming

Ok, ok - before you get all excited about our headline, we want to clarify. The Orlando Toyota Land Cruiser is still discontinued after the 2021 model year... in America. In other parts of the world, the new 300 Series model will be introduced to the market. And rumor has it that with this new 300 Series Land Cruiser comes a special edition model - a Gazoo Racing model that's tuned and outfitted with everything you need to get off the pavement. What could this new Toyota SUV have to offer? But wait - isn't the Orlando Toyota Land Cruiser already off-road-ready? It is, very much so, but this new GR model will up the ante when it comes to tackling tough terrain and exploring the unknown. We've got the details - check it out. Supposedly, the new Toyota Land Cruiser will drop its V8 engine (which it's had for years and years) and replace it with a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 engine. It's estimated that this new engine could churn out an impressive 420 horsepower and 434 lb-ft of torque (it's the same engine that's in the current Lexus LS500). However, the engine could also be a diesel 3.3L turbo V6 that offers 309 horsepower and 507 lb-ft of torque. It's rumored that both options will be available in the Gazoo Racing model, but the diesel engine will only offer room for five passengers while the twin-turbo will offer room for seven. This off-road-ready model will also include front and rear locking differential as well as a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, so you have automatic adjustment and deactivation of the sway bars. This allows for more precise handling when you're off the pavement, but less body roll when you're on the road. The wheels will also be smaller - 18" versus the prior 20" size.

2022 Toyota GR 86

Meet the all-new 2022 Toyota GR 86

It's finally here - the 2022 Toyota GR 86 has officially been unveiled. It's set to arrive at dealerships across the nation late this year, but our Orlando Toyota dealership has the scoop NOW on what it's going to offer when you can finally slide into the driver's seat. If you noticed, the name is slightly different. Toyota added "GR" to this sports car's moniker, which stands for Gazoo Racing (and it's obvious that this car will be track-ready). However, that's not all that's changed. This Orlando Toyota was completely redesigned for its second generation. Much like the first gen, it was co-designed and developed with Subaru (check out the BRZ - twinsies) and the two automotive powerhouses didn't disappoint when it comes to design, performance, and technology. Here are the basics of what the all-new Toyota GR 86 will offer. A larger engine - the original has been replaced with a 2.4L flat-four. This means increased horsepower (232 hp) and torque (184 lb-ft) for a more exciting performance. (The old model got 205 hp and 156 lb-ft). It's still rear-wheel drive for quick acceleration and is available in both six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmissions. It gets from 0-62 mph in 6.3 seconds, an improvement from the 7.4 seconds that the prior generation boasted. Dimensions will stay generally the same; the new 2022 Toyota GR 86 will showcase the same low stance that it achieves through its flat-four engine. The wheelbase is slightly longer and the center of gravity is a little lower. The roof and fender panels are now made of aluminum for lower overall weight (and more speed). Torsion rigidity has been increased by about 50%, according to Toyota - this means enhanced handling as well as a more comfortable experience for the driver and passengers. The interior will showcase a 7" digital display in the instrument cluster, as well as an 8" touchscreen interface for the entertainment system. Some models of the new Toyota GR 86 will showcase the new Subaru EyeSight driver-assist technology. (Likely the automatic models.) We can't wait for it to arrive at Toyota of Orlando.
